A cоhоrt study investigаting the аssоciаtion between specific types of dietary fats and the risk of coronary heart disease found the risk ratio to be 1.78. Based on this information, what is the DIRECTION of the association between high trans fat intake and incidence of coronary heart disease and how do you know? Use the following values to decide your answer: RR = 1.0 (No difference): The risk is identical between groups. The exposure has no effect. RR > 1.0 (Increased risk): The exposed group is more likely to develop the disease. RR < 1.0 (Decreased risk): The exposed group is less likely to develop the disease. This usually implies the exposure (like a vaccine or treatment) is protective.
